About Me
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor & Supervisor with over a decade of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. I earned my B.A. in Psychology (2006), M.Ed. in Community Counseling (2010), and Ph.D. in Counseling and Human Development (2019) from Kent State University. Since becoming licensed in 2010, I've worked in private practice, university counseling, and hospital settings.
I specialize in supporting individuals through transitions, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and trauma. With a deep passion for personal growth and healing, I bring a compassionate, holistic approach to each client I work with.
I’m dedicated to helping you find your path to healing and growth, with insight, humor, and expertise to guide you every step of the way.
My Approach
Therapy is a journey of self-discovery, where the heart, mind, body and soul are all embraced. My approach is centered on understanding your unique perspective, and work alongside you as a “fellow traveler,” offering empathy and support to uncover insights, gain clarity, and identify actionable steps to create meaningful change.
In our sessions, you’ll find a compassionate yet proactive environment where your strengths are highlighted and used to build a brighter future. My therapy style is personable and engaging, offering genuine support while also encouraging growth and transformation. I believe in providing practical, meaningful tools that empower you to make the most of your life—no matter the challenges you face.
Together, we’ll create a path toward greater well-being, one that aligns with your goals, values, and vision for the future.
Practice Philosophy
My practice philosophy is rooted in compassion, insight, and a deep understanding of each individual. I begin by establishing a genuine connection with you, creating a space where you feel heard and understood. Through this connection, we work together to explore new perspectives and uncover deeper meanings that can lead to personal growth and healing.
I believe therapy is a journey of self-discovery, where the hidden aspects of who you are can be revealed in a safe, unbiased, and supportive environment. My approach is inclusive, focusing on your unique needs and experiences. It’s not just about alleviating pain but empowering you to move beyond suffering and find true fulfillment in life.
Each session is a step toward freeing yourself from limiting patterns and embracing a life of greater purpose, meaning, and emotional well-being.
